KING’S QUEST 8:

MASK OF ETERNITY WALKTHRU

BY

TAMI MEYERS

Introduction: The path I have chosen is not the only way to complete the game, it’s just my way. Now comes the part where I give the obligatory speech about not following the walkthru step by step or it will ruin the enjoyment and satisfaction you get from completing the game on your own. However, feel free to refer to it whenever you feel a migraine coming on. I’m open to any suggestions you may have for improving this walkthru or if I have missed anything of vital importance. Also, any hints, tips and secrets are welcome. Please feel free to e-mail me anytime.
